Congratulations Katie Taylor and team on the Grand Opening of Miglet’s Gluten-Free Cupcake Shop!  We attended the Grand Opening festivities last weekend and enjoyed delicious gluten-free cupcakes, cookies, face painting, coloring and balloons!  A wonderful time was had by all and I am thrilled to have a dedicated gluten-free bakery in the Danville/Walnut Creek area!  [...]

I am counting down the days until Miglet’s Grand Opening on June 26th!
Owner Katie Taylor has been creating and delivering decadent Gluten-Free treats to homes and retailers all over the Bay Area (and most importantly, right to my front door).  And now she and her fabulous crew are opening up a store/cupcake shop in Danville.

It’s amazing how the list of gluten-free Bay Area restaurants continues to grow!  I was thrilled to find out that Old Spaghetti Factory has a special gluten-free menu.  They offer Deboles rice fettucine, made from simple ingredients: rice flour and rice bran extract.   I ordered a favorite from my childhood days, the pasta with browned [...]

Pizza night just got a billion times better for us gluten-free folks, now that Extreme Pizza offers (and delivers!) gluten-free pizzas.  The crust is rice-based, made by stillridingpizza.  When the pizza is delivered piping hot, the crust is extremely crispy, much akin to an italian thin-crust pizza.
My favorite toppings are pineapple, green onion and bacon, [...]

During a trip to my local Asian Market, 99 Ranch Market, I was thrilled to fine Safoco brand of  white-rice gluten-free pasta, at the astonishing price of $1.69!  Compare to similar white rice pasta brands at Whole Foods ($7.99 a box).
Pasta comes in both penne (shown to the left) as well as macaroni. Ingredients are [...]

Our family has been a fan of Amy’s Organics foods for many years because of my husband’s lactose intolerance and my recent gluten-free diet.
Some family favorites include the Gluten-Free Rice Crust Dairy Free pizza.  To be able to accommodate all of our food restrictions in one meal and keep a 2-year happy is an impressive [...]

I was in the mood for a warm, hearty winter meal.  I put together these gluten free Swedish meatballs, served over gluten free pasta (brown rice spaghetti is my favorite).  Instead of using dried herbs, try pre-packaged dip mixes (mine was an all natural mango-curry mix) that blend many different seasonings for you.
Meatballs:
1 lb ground [...]

Burma Superstar is one of the many famous Bay Area culinary gems. It is often recognized internationally in the media and The Food Network and for good reason, since their dishes are very unique in flavor profiles and the plethora of their offerings. But once I was diagnosed with gluten-intolerance, I was certain that [...]

San Rafael’s Sol Food Restaurant has been an uber-popular Marin dining destination for many years. They have two restaurants within a block from one another, the original, a smaller take-out restaurant (with some limited dining space) and then the larger restaurant with a huge dining room.
Not only is their Puerto [...]

Mariposa Bakery is the Gluten-Free mecca and a Bay Area favorite.  They offer fresh baked goods, all gluten-free and many both dairy and gluten-free.  They have a large binder a with all the ingredients listed for all their baked goods; I had to watch out for a few products that contained corn product.  The biscotti [...]
